Hey man, absolutely loved this demo! I've historically never been a PRS fan, but you may have changed my mind. This combo sounds wild.
What's the tracking and latency like? Very good vid.
Great demo. I would like to know how the Roland gk-3 is attached to your instrument. How do you change your strings ? The stoptail bridge on the PRS is threaded reverse, so Is the gk in the way ? I have a similar instrument but I am reluctant to install the gk.

Hi Jean-Pierre. Ah good questions, both of them . . . firstly changing strings; yes the pickup does get in the way a bit but it can be done, but what I do to save fiddling is that I raise the bridge/tailpiece enough to access the holes, and then screw it back down when the new stings are fitted. I use Elixirs that last for ages and I am not using a pick like a shovel so I don't breal strings on gigs . . . but if you are someone who does then yes, that could be a problem. Fitting without making holes in one's guitar: There is a very smart felt-backed clamp that comes with the pickup which allows the controller to be securely fixed with the help of the strap button. I put a slightly longer screw in as well. The actual pickup is simply stuck on with double sided tape. I have never had one fall off, but they are easy to remove when you want to, and do not harm the finish on your precious guitar.
Really cool, your playing reminds me of mark knopfler!
